Stop infringing on deer habitat.
I have seen deer in downtown DC (on the Whitehurst freeway), what is
"deer habitat".
I've seen deer on the national mall.

The deer habitat under discussion here typically is surburban and
rural land on or adjacent to meadows, forests, et cetera.
Deer are becoming overpopulated in many areas. The lack of hunters and
large predators has made them 150 pound rats. They simply breed up to
the food supply, which tends to be just about anything that grows.

BTW seeing a deer on the mall is not as exciting as seeing one 35 feet
above K street on the Whitehurst (an elevated freeway exactly 2 lanes
wide wall to wall). N39.54.9.54 W77.03.43.56 for you google E fans
No Don I wasn't doing the speed limit. it was about 4AM and I was on
my way to GEICO to fix 2 broken laser printers. doing about 50
I did manage to dodge them although one did jump over the wall. I
thought about looping around on M street and seeing if she was OK but
I had to go.

You fix laser printers? Now *that* is a real skill. I am impressed. I
met a TV guy a month or so ago who fixed a board on my glass picture
tube HD TV by pulling the board, removing some chips and soldering in
new ones. He's gotta be one of the last of the breed, too.

I replaced a cmos chip on my Raytheon scanner 5 years ago and I didn't
know a damned thing about it before cracking it open to diagnose. Was
able to search the net for clues, talked to a raytheon tech over the
phone and isolated the problem. Soldering iron, solder suck, solder
and a $2 cmos chip and the thing worked like new. Damned gratifying.

Replacing the board would've been $600.

Well..I am pretty good at assemblying computer from component parts, and
general soldering, but you guys are beyond my abilities.

By component parts do you mean assemblies or discrete components? Any
three year old can screw together a case fans PS MB etc. Especially if
he has a set of fine German screwdrivers to work with.
